Leaders who hit the service levels and grow the margin, recruited for contract logistics, distribution and fulfilment operations in Hartlepool.
Permanent leadership hires should leave a site stronger, safer and more profitable.
Sites such as the Teesport container terminal and the Hartlepool and Billingham industrial areas vary in scale and pace. We match leaders to the operation they will actually be running.
We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.
